TV/Week: Nanny 9-11, Rudolph, and Dr. House

The TV is mostly background noise to Grandmother but at times there may be a show actually worth attention.


TV Kicks off the Christmas Season

And there's lots to watch including a children's Christmas tale that will always fascinate little folks like Kaitlyn Mae.

On Monday, Nov. 29, Animal Planet presents an all new edition of "Pet Star". Check in on this show all pet owners and animal lovers. For the "tricks" these pets do are often, well, strange. But hey, I have a dacshund what can cha-cha and a Belgian Malinois that does an awesome slow dance. Not to mention that same big galoot shepherd dog will let me play the keyboards and drums right on her back.

On that same night, NBC will feature a special on Princess Di at 10 pm. Does anyone really care about her anymore? According to the promos, this show features "never before seen tapes" , something I cannot imagine possible. Ah, Princess Diana, the epitome of our naive lives before September 11, 2001.

Sounds Quirky Enough to be Worth a Look


On Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 8 pm, Fox premiers a new show titled simply "House" Who is evidently a physician of some sort. The promo blurb goes as follows:"Medical, Mystery, Occam's Razor A collegian collapses after raucous sex with his girlfriend, and Dr. House and his team scramble to figure out why.."

On Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 8pm, CBS is featuring the cartoon "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Hey, it's a classic. Must remind Kaitlyn's parents to tune in.

Big TV Event of the Week

On the same night, at 9 pm, Fox is premiering a new show titled "Nanny, 9-11". The premise of this series is that families with a need of help with the children can call in an expert, the Nanny I must assume, and I would suppose there's a big finale "reveal" that features new, improved and happier children. Hey, it's a stretch but this week's show features a couple with Quadruplets. I can imagine a couple with quadruplets might need a Nanny.

On Friday, Dec. 3, at 9 pm, CBS is featuring "The Ice Wars" described as "USA vs the World". Well how can I not watch this? Beside having a fondness for ice skating, this sport presenting a visual that, okay, maybe women like it more.

On Saturday, Dec. 4, at 8 pm, NBC will show the movie "A Perfect Storm". Not being one to attend theaters, I welcome this much praised movie. Get your popcorn and check it out.
